About United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA):

UNAMA’s original mandate, laid out in UN Security Council Resolution 1401 (March 2002) was to support the implementation of Bonn Agreement (December 2001). This mandate has changed over time to reflect the needs of the country and was last extended on 17 March 2022, by UN Security Council Resolution 2626 (2022).

Unanimously adopting resolution 2626 (2022), the 15-member Council decided to extend the Mission’s mandate until 17 March 2023.

UNAMA’s current mandate comprises the following priorities:  the provision of good offices; support for the organization of future elections; strengthening capacity in the protection and promotion of human rights including the protection of children affected by armed conflict and prevention of child recruitment; support for gender equality and women’s and girls’ empowerment; the coordination and facilitation of humanitarian assistance; and support for Afghanistan’s development and governance priorities, including the rule of law, transitional justice as an essential component of the ongoing peace process, budget execution and the fight against corruption throughout the country;

The Security Council also recognized that the renewed mandate of UNAMA is in support of Afghanistan’s full assumption of leadership and ownership in the security, governance and development areas, consistent with the Transformation Decade (2015–2024) and with the understandings reached between Afghanistan and the international community in the international conferences in Kabul (2010), London (2010 and 2014), Bonn (2011), Tokyo (2012), and Brussels (2016), and the NATO Summits held in Lisbon (2010), Chicago (2012), Wales (2014), Warsaw (2016) and Brussels (2017), Kabul (2018) and Geneva (2018 & 2020).
The United Nations has been involved in the region since 1946 when Afghanistan joined the United Nations as a member state of the Organization.

Previous UN Security resolutions defining UNAMA’s mandate are: 1662 (2006), 1746 (2007), 1806 (2008), 1868 (2009), 1917 (2010), 1974 (2011), 2041 (2012), 2096 (2013), 2145 (2014), 2210 (2015), 2274 (2016), 2344 (2017), 2405 (2018), 2460 (2019), 2489 (2019), 2543 (2020), 2596 (2021).
